    It's been kind of quiet down there. Seen any tornados lately? G

    I would make sure that I had red osier dogwood in and surrounding my 30 acre reed canary swamp, red osier/spruce combo. Do you have tamaracks out in the reed canary grass? G

    Stone Branch, build it, they will come.

    I waited till 7:30 pm for the winds to diminish, which they didn't do much. High winds and lot of fuel for the west leg down. I got down at 9:30 and a storm cloud put my fire out. G

    ah oh. I lit and advanced two lines up and under that readily switched from back to head to backfires. I now have faith in my top break. With big winds forecast for today I held off on lighting up the whole ditch but I'm ready to this evening. G

    Sub 10% relative humidity at burn time made it a no burning doobies in the woods, let alone wildfires, kind of day. The last 100- 200 yards of blue line turned into more than a blowjob, I'm in retreat. G

    Pyro wannabe. Eastern leg up, yellow tree markings were seemingly standing out stronger to me. A snakey hillside. I seemed to have learned something on my last burn, I'm now blowing out firebreaks wider and removing all dead wood. Back up on the plateau, I'm a bit slow, but the...

    I've started on 1,500 yards of fire break. I had some natural disturbance on the first leg up on the southwest end. some firewood and perhaps some boards. G

    Back into burn unit B, last evening, I went up to see if I could get anything to burn. This am, fire was spotty on steep ground. Fire didn't move through most of the little clearcut area, I might send a head fire. So, I managed to get about 20 of 26 acres in this unit to...

    Yep, that was the fire at 7:00 am. Bill brought forest warden Micheal Carter with him, whom I met on Bill's initial visit with me last May. Micheal just did 2 12s working wildfires. We crossed the fire line mid slope to reach the 12th and final tally point. My dogs held up and weren't too...

    Nice, my fire turned into an extra 2 hours of fire fighting. No guts no glory, is what I actually told myself. About 20% humidity with some wind Working 2 hot ends can be a challenge. I decided to trust the end up top to babysit itself and dropped off of the north slope. Which turned...

    This thing blows dog turds, literally. I blew out the steep slope on the north end of the unit, up and down. This blower blew matted stilt grass up and off the trail. I blew 1,000 yards of break out in about 2 hours and 3 tanks of gas, I'm happy with my purchase. It might be ready...
